Sabi Sand Central

This area is a combination of two very well known private reserves, Singita and Londolozi which share traversing rights over around 168 square kilometres and includes just eight small camps.

The reserve, which is unfenced to the east and west, forms part of the greater Kruger protected area, there being no barriers to impair the movement of animals between here and the distant border with Mozambique. Human settlement only encroaches on the far southwest corner of the reserve and does not therefore impact on the safari experience.

The landscape here is the usual mix of undulating hills and thick thorn-scrub, but with some pronounced granite kopjes, modest open grasslands and very scenic riverine areas to provide variation. Although the wildlife is free to migrate in and out, wildlife viewing is very reliable year round. In fact his is one of the best areas for big cats and rhinos in all Africa.

All of the camps in this area are very high quality and premium priced. They are owned by two of the leading safari companies in the country ...

Singita Boulders Lodge ... is a super-luxury lodge, with stylish modern public areas and guest accommodation in twelve sumptuous suites.

Singita Ebony Lodge ... is located nearby and is to a similar level, but with a slightly more traditional design, also with twelve guest suites.

Londolozi Granite Suites ... is the first of five related luxury camps which share the same location alongside the Sabi River. This particular camp is very modern in design and has just three gorgeous suite rooms with private plunge pools.

Londolozi Pioneer Camp ... is a slightly more traditional design, also with just three guest suites with private pools.

Londolozi Tree Camp ... is another lovely option with six guest suites, again all with private plunge pools.

Londolozi Founders Camp ... is a traditional style of camp, with guest accommodation in ten very comfortable chalets with lovely private plunge pools. It is slightly lower cost than the above.

Londolozi Varty Camp ... is another slightly lower cost option, slightly larger with eight rooms, but otherwise serviced to the same elevated levels.
